PollySynth is a ‘multiplayer polyphonic synth’ that combines elements of gaming with synthesis.
Synthesizer voices are visualized as members of the ‘PollySynth gang’. Players fly these characters around and create audio havoc by loading a website on their mobile and playing with the controls. Spatial audio effects add to the fun as characters zoom by.
PollySynth is currently available as a location specific experience. See the Pollysynth site for details.
Wow. Massive Multiplayer Mobile Music-Making. Perhaps if they add group tempo(s) & some harmonic framework, total strangers could learn to make musical sounds together. Real potential.
tried it last night – cool –
the social aspect is very nice
